prepared by mixing with or 10 per

materials are made separately. Pieces
of leather are washed, cut, boiled in aka

once more to remove all traces of acid.
To this are added sinews, which are
treated similarly. but steamed in an acid

Deafness can't be cured by local appi-
cations, as they can not reach the dis
eased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure Deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the
mucus lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infiamed, you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the mucus
surfaces.

any case of Deafness Caused by Catarrh)

Gold Found in His Grave.

The accidental opening of a soldiers
grave at Atlanta recently, disclosed
what is rarely ever hidden in the
to1nh-money. The grave was on the
side of hill, near the East Tennessee
Railroad shops, and was about four or
five feet deep. The soldier was prob
ably hastily buried there during the
war. Workmen have been engaged
in making an excavation at this place
for several days and more than once
have discovered bones that greatly re-
sembled those of human body. They
dug hole twelve feet deep and four
feet square and into it lowered a small
can filed with gunpowder, to which a
fuse was attached, for the purpose of
loosening the earth. Over the can
they firmly packed some clay and the
fuse was then lighted. In a few sec
onds there was a muffled explosion
and for several yards around the earth
was broken up as if it had been thor
oughly plowed.
In one spot within a few feet of the
hole, solid piece of earth had been
lifted up and turned over, leaving an
excavation eight feet square and five
feet deep. One of the workmen peered
into the cavity, and, hastily returning
to his companions, exclaimed, That's
grave and there's a skeleton in it.
The men looked into the tomb and
saw human skeleton with all the
bones in their proper place, but on
touch they fell apart. A closer in
spection was made and several brass
buttons, with the letters ~. S." on
them, and the visor of a cap were
found in the grave. There was no sign
of burial garments OF of decayed wood
to show that the dead soldier had been
buried in a coffin.
II believe this is money" exclaimed
one Of the workmen as he brushed the
earth-stains from something round in
his hand. He held a $50 gold piece.
Il have found one just like it," ex-
citedly exclaimed another laborer, and
he set to work to make his gold shine.
Heres small piece So" ex-
claimed a third workman.
The search became general and one
more $50 gold piece, two tens and
another five making in all $50, were
found in the soldiers grave.
One Of the laborers who had not been
fortunate enough to pick up one of the
coins said: You wouldn't catch me
taking money home what came out of
a grave. | just tell you that skeleton
will haunt you fellows what's got that
gold, sure's you're born"
This caused some uneasiness among
the holders of the money, but they did
not give it up. The body was that of
a Union soldier, as the letters on the
brass buttons clearly indicated, and
he was probably among the killed
in one of the battles fought around At
lanta. Like many others who met a
similar fate, he was buried without a
winding sheet or shroud and with lit
tie ceremony. He was probably
buried III the clothes in which he was
shot down, and his money was left in
his pockets and covered up in the
grave. After more than twenty wears
no trace OF garments could be found,
but the gold was still there, and of all
the contents of the tomb it was the
only thing that remained for which
men care or find use to-day.

A Bright VentriIoquist.

A little Boston boy who was taken
to the entertainment of ventriloquist
some time ago, and who was close
observer of the performers modus
operandi, accompanied his parents
last week to his fathers native town,
and among the places visited during
their rural sojourn was the country
cemetery, where sleep the progenitors
of his paternal parent. The latter
pointed out to the child a certain
mound, saying: There, dear, is the
grave of your grandfather" The
little fellow gazed curiously at the
place of sepulture for moment, and
then, seized by a sudden idea, stopped
down, and, rapping on the tombstone,
said Grandpa, are you down there?"
following it up with self-supplied
Eyes, in as deep and cultural tone
as his little throat could make vocal.
.'Does you want to come up?" he re-
sumed, in his natural pitch of voice,
and again dropping to the lower tone
answered his own query with a bass
and hollow NO" The parents, great
~ shocked, cut short further ventrilo-
quail efforts on the part of the too
precocious child.-BoSton Budget

SURPRISED TURKs.-Dr. Washburne,
president of the american college at Con-
stantinople, brought with him from the
United States one of Edison's phono-
graphs, which he exhibited to company
of Turks. He talked into the orifice and
the machine ground out of its vocal tin
foil long sentences in it's squeaky way.
The amazement of the spectators was
kept out of sight. They pretended that
it was no marvel to them at all, but when
the photographs spoke in Turkish they
could not contain themselves any longer,
and frankly admitted that they could not
understand how the machine had learned
the language SO quickly, since it had been
in the country only two weeks.

An Anecdote of Verdi.

A German newspaper relates a cap
ital story of the composer Verdi. Some
years ago Verdi was visited by friend
in small bathing place, where he was
found quartered in little room which,
he said, served at once as dining,
dwelling and bed room. As the visitor
expressed surprise Verdi broke in:
ooh, l have two other large rooms,
but l keep the articles hired by me in
them" With this the composer rose
from his seat, opened door, and
showed his astonished visitor ninety
five barrel-organs, remarking: when
| came here all these organs played

stuff. / have hired them from the
owners. pay about 1,500 lire, and

together. Error came out first, put on
Truths clothes, and ran away. And
Error has been trying to wear the same
garment ever since. When Truth came
out of the water the only clothing she
could find to put on was what belonged
to Error. Before I wear such garments

PRINTERS IN COUNCIL.
International typographical Union in
Session mt Buffalo.

BUFFALO, ". ", June 6.-At 1920 this
morning, President VIM. Aimison, of
Nashville, called the delegates to order
and declared the Thirty-fifth Annual In
ternational Typographical Union Con-
vention open for business. The hall was
completely filled with delegates, visitors,
members of the local union and a few
ladies, there being fully 300 persons pres
ent. OF these, about 1861 are delegates.
Many more are expected to-day and to-
morrow, and at least 200 in all will be
here. The convention adjourned to 30
p. m. to permit the Committee on Gre
dentials of which Connolly, of Washing
ton, is Chairman, to prepare their report.
After the recess President AiniesOn de-
livered his annual address. He con-
graduated the convention on the pro-
gress made in the past year and the
cheerful outlook for the future. OF the
strike fund, the president said: 1T
is mooted question whether
the fund, as it exists now, is not produc-
tive of more injury than benefit. Last
year it was made obligatory To adopt the
strike fund law, and at once numerous
applications were made for aid: so many.
i'm fact, that the Executive Council be-
came convinced that other unions
would be violent in opposition to the
consequent assessment. There can
be no question that in many
instances, the fund and no just demand,
was no potent factor in asking an adj
vance, and if the fund had been allowed
an immense number of men would have
been thrown out of employment. The
Executive Council, therefore, deter
mined to withhold aid except in extra
ordinary cases" The president also
stated that the increase in Pressmen's
Unions had been very gratifying.
